So whats going on?
Well its wet (hooray, its looking like a desert around here). 3 years ago I would have been depressed and swearing about this, but when you get more than 320 days sunshine, a bit of rain is OK. Its also cold, relatively speaking. Yesterday was the coldest day of the year 17 degrees celcius. So my bike protests when it is wet and I have sympathetically allowed it to stay toasty and warm indoors. Makes me feel a bit fat and lazy, but the Italians make such a fuss.
Have a vast stack of exam papers to mark and am gradually working my way through a bottle of wine. Have to finish them by tomorrow, which is why I am pissing my existence down the drain writing this instead of marking stuff. Bored, in other words.
Time to put on music. Brian Jonestown massacre for a bit of a change.
Still waiting for 3,5K from a pharmaceutical company. Chased them yesterday and they have apologised and promised to send asap. When it comes I am going away for a bit I think. Maybe here.
Get away from people for a bit. Hope its safe for ocean swimming coz the bike cant come. Also need to let a student have the house for a bit to look after the dogs. Maybe I should just go up to the mountains with the dogs for a few days instead. They would like that.
Time to go. More marking.

"Then spotted not only music I love, type of girls had been out with/ friendly with/ married/ been dumped by..." You are a glutton for punishment
You brought up the geek factor. Yeah, this is a site that not only tolerates, but celebrates geek in all its forms: technology, sports, art, sex, whatever. I'm sure half my friends list knows more now about cycling then they ever did before. And they're all pretty tolerant of it, making supportive comments in my journal when I spazz out with pics and whatever. And I now know that computer guys are not as weird/scary/creepy as I thought they were, and that they occassionally get out and about in the world. Even if they do play a lot of video games.
RE: boobs v. legs - I haven't seen a lot of models with really good legs on here, ie athlete girl legs, not just skinny girl legs. Not saying that they aren't here, I just haven't seen much of them. Though that could be cuz I go for days without looking at the pics, mainly just doing the journals and groups thing. Sometimes I forget that there are naked chicks here.
That island looks nice. I saw a show on tv about a resort in a place called Datai Bay.
Nice. I've put it on my list of places to go. Jeez, I can't wait to get back into the working world to earn full-time $$. I need to travel! And yes, people are over-rated. Gotta escape them once in a while.
Your definition of boredum is perfect. I am going to steal it. Might or might not give proper credit when used, depending on the mood. Cuz ya know, I'm not an ex-catholic so your guilt won't work on me, man!
